Care of Magical Creatures Professor (Years 5-7)

Harry had never been one to have an office job as he didn’t like the feeling of been cooped up in a small office all day doing paperwork. He had always been more of an outdoorsy person and young at heart –once have the job of owning Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes simply because of his love for what was sold there. So when the job for Care of Magical Creatures became available at the local school Harry saw it as a new opportunity for him. He had never thought of himself as a Professor as the job involved him being professional and that was just not him. Although this particular subject had been one close to his heart when he attended school and the job allowed him to be outside most if not all of the time and he would be doing something he enjoyed at least. After he had applied for the job he had never expected to actually get the job but as he stood outside in the meeting area for student taking Care of Magical Creatures it finally started to sink in that he was now a Professor.

Having put much thought into his lessons Harry was feeling rather confident about his first lesson with the seventh years; he felt he had done well with the previous years already so hopefully it got easier with time. He was to be teaching the upper years so at least he knew his students would be well adapted to the school and its surroundings now, as well as the rules. As he waited for the students to arrive he quickly went over the lesson outline, he wanted this to go off without a hitch so he could prove to his employer and himself that he could do this job. Noticing the students starting to arrive he gave a few of them a small smile as he waited for the rest of them to arrive. A few minutes later the class looked full and calling for attention he took the roll, mentally trying to remember the names of a few of the students as they made themselves known to him. Happy that everyone was hear he put the class register to the side and started the class, trying to not let his nerves get the best of him. “Good morning fifth years. My name is Harry Thornton but Professor Thornton or Sir will be more than acceptable. Now while I don’t know your names yet I will hope to get to know you better as I will be taking your for the rest of your time here at Hogwarts New Zealand.” he tried to keep his voice steady so he took a small breath between his words.

“Now I have a very interesting lesson for you all today.” he beamed, hoping to not over load them with too much work on their first day, although as OWL students they would need to get used to it. “Now while the young ladies will probably find this more interesting I would like the men to keep up interest if you please. Today we will be looking at Unicorns.” he said, hoping that there wouldn’t be much distaste from the boys in the class. “Now I’ll give you a few facts before we start.” he said, giving the students time to get out something to write on if they wanted to take notes that was. Looking over the young faces he figured he should move on. “The Unicorn is a white, horse-like creature with a single horn on its forehead. Unicorn foals are pure gold. They then turn silver when they're about two years old. They grow their horn around the age of four. At about seven years old, they're fully grown and turn pure white. Their hooves are golden and their blood is silver-blue in colour.” he rambled off the most important facts that the students would need to know, he just hoped that he didn’t bore them too much already. He remembered what it was like to be in their shoes and he never liked the theory part of the class but it was the only one he could stand.

“Now!” Harry said with a clap of his hands, “Unicorns prefer a woman's touch, but the young ones are more trusting and don't mind men as much. Various parts of the unicorn - the horn and tail hair in particular - are used in potions and for the cores of wands. Right lads you go to my left, and girls go to my right. I will call them.” Harry put his fingers in his mouth, and whistled. Seconds later three pure white unicorns came galloping out of the forest. Harry backed away, and then two golden unicorns cantered behind them. “Right Gentlemen, you can each stroke the foals, while ladies you can stroke the adults. After you finished stroking I have a bucket for them, of carrots, and a bucket of water for each of you. Have fun!” Harry beamed. Soon after Harry had called the class round. “Right the lesson’s over. For homework, please write up about a Unicorn, images get extra credit. Class dismissed." He told them with a smile on his face. His first class was over and he felt that he hadn’t done too badly, in fact he was rather proud of himself. Seeing the class off he went to prepare for his next one. [color]

Wednesday came too soon for her really; she had almost dropped the class if she hadn’t a pure love for care of magical creature. Plus it was a little too late to switch her extra credit class. Besides muggel studies, the rest didn’t capture her interest as much as Care of Magical Creature did for her. If she had left what she loved, she would be admitting to failing her father too. This will not be good start of the year for Madlyn; she took her leave right away when she was done staring at her oatmeal this morning.

She walked out the school with her head down and her hair lowered isolating her from anyone views. These days she kept to herself, avoided being asked anything from anyone or anything that wanted to know how she was holding up. Danielle, the Slytherin who had the nerves to talk down to her was the closes to have spoken since she almost curse the hell out of Briar when she finally corner her that day. It was the end of her friendship and now alone she really hadn’t anyone to talk to at all. When she tried looking for the Ravenclaw girl name Laura, she was nowhere to be found.

At last she drawn near the forest edge and stood away from the rest of her classmates. The lesson started promptly, it was a shame she hadn’t the right mind to pay attention at all. Unicorns were her absolute favorite from all creatures, but when Professor Thorton brought them out, Madlyn kept to herself. She ignored the lecture and busied her mind on old memories. When class was done, she was the first to leave, forgetting to even scratch down her assignment due the following week.
